Book Description
A celebration of the unique coastline of the Great Ocean Road and the deep time that has shaped it. Written in Stone takes the reader from the ochre cliffs of Torquay where 25 million year old fossils can be found, past the tip of Cape Otway where Gondwanan rivers have preserved dinosaur bones and on towards the Twelve Apostles. Each location has been mapped, photographed, sketched and offered to the reader with the eye of a geologist and an artist. Through following the iconic Great Ocean Road Written in Stone shows us how to look closer and see things that we may otherwise pass by. It reveals how the colours, lines, textures and patterns we find in rocks are all here as a result of time and process acting on and shaping the landscape. This book captures the curiosity and beauty of small moments. Of objects found on walks, collected and treasured. Philomena shows us that each small piece is a puzzle to the wider workings of geology and how it shapes our lives.

Book Description
The Otways and Shipwreck Coast is known for its natural beauty and attracts millions of visitors each year, particularly along the Great Ocean Road. The value of the region's rich biodiversity is recognised at the national and global level and its wildlife is markedly different to other regions, including eastern Victoria which supports similar vegetation types. Wildlife of the Otways and Shipwreck Coast is a photographic field guide to the vertebrate wildlife of Victoria’s south-west. It covers all the mammals, birds, reptiles and frogs that occur in the region, including on land and in coastal waters. Each of the 288 species profiles includes a description and information on identification, range, conservation status, habitat use and ecology and is complemented by an exquisite colour photograph and a detailed distribution map. The book also includes chapters on habitat types, conservation and management, and on 14 key places in the region to view wildlife. This book will allow those interested in wildlife, including residents and visitors, to identify vertebrate animals found in the region. Readers will also become more familiar with the distinct role the Otways has in conserving Australia’s biodiversity.
